Painting skills:

1. Preparation tools before drawing: drawing paper, different types of pencils. Drawing paper needs thick white paper with irregular lines. Friction-resistant, so you can use an eraser when painting, and it is not easy to get fuzzy. And it has good water resistance, so when painting watercolor, there will be no diffusion.

2. Learn to draw lines: Sketch is made up of lines. Before you learn to draw, you have to draw a lot of lines, but you just draw lines.

Don't bend when painting, pay attention to decisiveness, chic and appropriate strength, that is, a line should make people feel beautiful, straight and generous, and the tail should be well gathered and organized. The key lies in the processing of line density, the rhythm coordination and ingenious application of density relationship, which can keep the picture sense of order and produce an orderly, rich and uncomplicated picture.

3, copy sketch photos: after learning the lines, choose a few photos you like to copy. Copying is the process of copying calligraphy and painting according to the original. For beginners, copying and sketching are also important. But beautiful scenery, scenery, food, as long as you like. Just copy a sketch photo and draw the outline.

Who painted Water Margin 108? It is not easy for Zhao Hongben, Dai Dunbang and other famous artists to draw these devil incarnations of 108 in Water Margin (HD). This requires the painter's profound experience and observation, plus superb artistic accomplishment. This issue arranged for many modern painters to compete on the same stage. See how they interpret and interpret the wonderful image of the hero. (Please wait patiently, there is a masterpiece of Dai Dunbang with high-definition retouching at the end of the article. )

1. Zhang Guangyu's Liangshan hero, Shui Bo.

Zhang Guangyu, the master of modern art in China, may have been forgotten by everyone. But he designed the national emblem and the cartoon image of "making a scene in heaven". These two points alone are enough to show that he is a first-class master.

During the Second World War, Zhang Guangyu's heroic biography was published in Hongkong newspapers. The lines of his water margin characters are very unique, like cartoons, with traditional national characteristics, exaggerating the characteristics of the characters' gods and shapes.

There are poems under the characters, and this picture shows the moment when Xunyang Building is drunk and anti-poetry.

Hu sanniang

Hu Sanniang's trousers are wide and small, and her fingers are like claws. In the original work, Wang Ying was caught in a rope, so he made this action design.

Lu zhishen

Shen made a scene in Wutai Mountain. His figure is ugly, and his clothes shake like running water. It seems to draw lessons from Ming and Qing illustrations and woodcut New Year pictures.

This heroic spectrum can see the shadow of traditionalism and the flavor of modernism. Zhang Guangyu opened up a good road for future generations. Unfortunately, there are too few painters who can really understand the artistic conception of "Guang Yu Feng", and painters still like to learn pure classical Chen Laolian.

2. The English version of Illustration of Water Margin by 2.MiguelCovarrubias

American woman writer Pearl Buck translated Water Margin into English, which became world-famous after it was published in 1948. Mexican illustrator MiguelCovarrubias illustrated the book.

When westerners draw Water Margin, the lines are simple and clumsy, and the colors used are quite different from those used in traditional painting in China. My understanding is that this is a combination of Chinese and western works of westerners, which is different from that of orientals.

3. Yan Meihua's "Water Margin 108 New Year Picture"

Yan Meihua, one of Four Great Classical Novels, became famous in 1950s. Now he is over 80 years old, and he is the last master of modern comics. I have a large collection of his works.

Yan Lao's water margin characters have no books, but are widely circulated among the people, in the form of whole New Year pictures, foreign paintings, poker, cigarette cards and so on.

108 New Year painting, two sizes.

Water Margin 108, a New Year picture edition in the early 1960s, is the most martial arts. Because Yan Lao took over the creation of many martial arts comics before the founding of the People's Republic. Chivalrous people are at your fingertips, and these brave people seem to live around us, ready to come out at any time.

The characters in the painting are all colorful and lifelike. Face recognition is also very high, it seems that they all ran out from the Beijing Opera team, and there are always some horrible expressions. This beautiful New Year picture was cut by countless children and photographed for fun.

5. Zhao Hongben's "Water Margin One Hundred and Eight Generals"

Zhao Hongben is famous for his painting "Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon" and is called "Grandpa" in the cartoon circle. He was also the president of Shangmei Publishing House in the glorious period of comics. He himself has a very good foundation in painting, copied and taught himself for many years, learned from others and formed his own family. This 7-meter-long volume of "Water Margin 108 General" is hard-won: in the 1960s, he conceived it for several years, and before he had time to tick the line, he was doomed. At that time, he suffered huge losses, and his comic book collection and drawings were destroyed. 10 years later, he was surprised to find that the draft was left in a gap in the wall and escaped!

Long volume published in 2008

He worked behind closed doors 100 days and finished the painting in one breath. This powerful iron line drawing, although not Shi Danqing, can be precise and rigorous, and the momentum is amazing. Heroes stand together, standing or leaning, happy or angry. It can be said that the pen is vivid. Cheng Shifa also praised this as a great achievement in painting.
